"See if you can find Gordo Zek in the slave pens. He always knew what was going on."
―Zorgom Z'all, to a spacer[1]

Gordo Zek was a male individual who lived on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Zek was captured by the Corellian slavers and enslaved in the Corellian Slaver Bunker near Tyrena.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a spacer infiltrated the bunker to find evidence of the slaver operations for the Corellian Security Force.[3] Gordo Zek agreed to help the spacer in the search of Neeka Z'all, a little girl lost by her parent, Zorgom and Norith Z'all, when they escaped the bunker. Thanks to the assistance of Gordo Zek, the spacer was able to rescue Neeka Z'all and the child eventually returned to her parents.[1] The spacer also broadcasted the slavers' records on the CorSec emergency request channels,[3] leading dozens of CorSec agents to quickly move to the slaver bunker and free all the slaves.[4]

Every possible depictions of Gordo Zek

Gordo Zek was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[5] Gordo Zek was added to the game with the update named "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives," published on June 8, 2006.[6]

Because Gordo Zek spawned under the generic "commoner" template, his appearance was randomly generated among 120 possible appearances. This included Humans, Twi'leks, Zabrak, Bothans, Mon Calamari, Aqualish, Bith, Rodians, and Trandoshans of either gender, and male Devaronians, Ishi Tib, Nikto, and Sullustans. However the quest dialogues identified him as a male.[1]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Forgotten Child" on Corellia
  2. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
